The chief executive of the International Cricket Council (ICC), Geoff Allardice, has announced that the fixtures for the 2023 ICC Cricket World Cup will be released promptly. India is set to host the One Day International (ODI) cricket tournament, anticipated to take place from 5 October to 19 November 2023.

He dismissed the notion, stating that the ICC’s events team is highly skilled in organizing cricket events worldwide and they focus on what they can control. 

He emphasized that their team is sticking to this approach and is dedicated to making progress for the event. He expressed anticipation for the schedule, hoping to receive it within the next day or two. Once they have the information, they will act promptly to move forward. The ICC CEO concluded by affirming that their team is determined to push ahead swiftly once they have the necessary details.
